Installation: ADA 6uidelines

ADA REQUIREMENTS (For Commercial Applications):
The Scout Excel Lift is completely ADA Compliant when installed correctly. The installation must meet the following requirements:

• Clear deck space dimensions (see FIGURE 1)
• Install lift a minimum of 19 inches from the pool edge (For curved pool walls contact Aqua Creek for placement)
• Deck slope no greater than 1 :48
• The seat must be submerged at least 18 inches into the water. The lift
• should be installed at a location with 42-48 inches of depth (deck to pool floor)

NOTE: Other requirements may be necessary based on local code requirements. The anchor system should be bonded according to NEC Section 680 and/or local code requirements.

Anchor Installation: Core-drill Retro-fit (Typical Concrete Pool Dech Installation)

Your deck MUST have:

• Minimum footing size: 3′ – 6″ x 3′ – 6″ x 1 0″ thick.
• Minimum concrete strength: 2500 psi
• Reinforcement: #5 rebar EW top & bottom

TOOLS REQUIRED:

• CORE DRILL
• 3″ CORE DRILL BIT
• 1 1/2″CORE DRILL BIT EPOXY (ANCHOR ADHESIVE)*
• MARKING PEN
• AIR NOZZLE & PUMP/COMP.
• HEAT GUN (OPTIONAL)
• MASKING TAPE

*Use HILTI RE-500-SD adhesive anchor or SIMPSON SET-XP anchor adhesive or equivalant.

NOTE: Your local codes may require one or more permits. Check with your local building codes for the proper permit requirements.

1. Mark the center of the anchor location on your deck using the guidelines on page 4. Also mark the center for the fixing anchor 3 1 /2″ from the center anchor.

2. Using a 3″ diameter core-drill bit, drill a 3″ diameter hole at the anchor location. Make sure to keep the bit square to the deck. Drill straight down to a depth of at least 6′? Then use a 1 1 /2″ drill bit for the fixing anchor, drilling down at least 4″
   NOTE: Create a depth marker on the drill bit with black electrical tape to make sure you drill to the right depth.  If you drill through the deck you may need to use the saw-cut installation instructions.

3. Remove plug and clean out the holes with a wire brush. Insert an air nozzle to the bottom of the hole. Use a pump or compressed air to blow out the hole. A heat-gun may be helpful in drying out the hole.

4. Place the anchor in the hole and ‘dry-fit’ it first to make sure the anchor will be flush and plumb with the finished deck surface when installed. Adjust the hole as needed.
   NOTE: Pool decks with pavers or thick tiles may require other anchor options. Contact Aqua Creek Products.

5.  Inject epoxy adhesive into each hole starting at the bottom until the hole is 1/3 to 1/2 full.
   NOTE: We recommend using masking tape around the top of the anchors so that no epoxy gets inside the anchors.

6. Install the anchor into the epoxy filled hole by pushing down and twisting back and forth to evenly distribute the epoxy around the anchor. Push down until it is flush with the finished deck surface. Clean off any excess epoxy. Adjust the anchor as needed to make sure it is flush and plumb with the deck surface. This should be done during the adhesives’ specified ‘gel time’ (see epoxy manufacturers’ instructions).

7. Let the epoxy cure for at least 24 hours before installing the lift (or where applicable according to the epoxy manufacturers’ instructions).

Anchor Installation

Saw-cut Retro-fit/New construction

1. Mask the bottom hole of the anchor sleeve to prevent concrete from seeping in.
2.  Install rebar in the 3′-6″x 3′-6″ section of the deck that will be thickened to 1 O’: SEE FIGURES B & C.
3.  Set the bronze anchor sleeve in place. Make sure the center of the anchor sleeve is no more than 44″from the pool’s edge. Set the fixing anchor insert 3 1/2″from the center of the anchor sleeve. Fixing anchor may be located anywhere on the deck, as long as it is 3 1/2″from the center of the anchor sleeve. SEE FIGURE B.
4. Bond the anchor sleeve according to your local code requirements by using the bonding lug and bonding screw on the side of the anchor sleeve.
5. Pour your concrete and finish the pool deck surface.
6.  Once the concrete has cured, your lift is ready to be mounted into the anchor sleeve.

Scout Excel Assembly Instructions

TOOLS REQUIRED:

• 1 /2″ WRENCH
• 9/16″ WRENCH
• 3/4″WRENCH
• 3/16″ ALLEN WRENCH
• 1 /4″ ALLEN WRENCH

WARNING: NEVER LIFT THE MAIN ASSEMBLY USING THE LINEAR ACTUATOR AS A HANDLE! USE  AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE TO LIFT. USE A TRANSPORT  CART IF AVAILABLE.

1. Lift the Scout Excel MAIN ASSEMBLY from the shipping container. Insert the 1.9″ [48mm] post of the MAIN ASSEMBLY into the deck anchor (FIGURE A, PAGE 6). Ease the MAIN ASSEMBLY down until it rests on the deck surface. Rotate the base until the fixing anchor hole lines up with the fixing anchor. Install the 1 /2″ x 1 1 /2″ hex bolt and washer to hold down the lift. Tighten the bolt.

2. Remove the shipping strap and all packing from the ACTUATOR. Connect the LIFTING ARM between the mast and the ACTUATOR (FIGURE D). Tighten nylock nuts (PHOTO 1 & PHOTO 2).

3. NOTE: Be careful not to over-tighten bolts. Over-tightening can cause damage and compromise the safety of your lift.

4. NOTE: The LIFTING ARM is easily flipped around the wrong way. Make sure the end marked 118″ is towards the mast, as shown.

5. Install the CONTROL ARM (“A” END) onto the mast as shown in FIGURE E. Tighten the nylock nut (PHOTO 3, PAGE 8).

6. Install the CHAIR ARM at the ends of the LIFTING ARM and CONTROL ARM (FIGURE E) Tighten the nylock nuts (PHOTOS 4 & 5).

7. NOTE: Make sure the letters match up; with the chair facing away from the main assembly.

8. NOTE: Flip the CONTROL ARM (upper arm) out of the way while the LIFTING ARM (lower arm) is attached first (this makes it easier to line-up the holes).

9. Remove the fully charged BATTERY from the charger and install the battery to the control bracket, on top of the control box. Once secure, connect the battery cable to the control box cable. The lift will only operate when the battery is connected properly.
   WHEN LIFT IS NOT IN SERVICE, STORE BATTERY ON THE CHARGER!

10. The CHAIR ASSEMBLY will arrive attached to the CHAIR ARM adjusted to its highest position.

11. To adjust the CHAIR ASSEMBLY to a lower position remove the hardware as shown in FIGURE G. Slide the SEAT ASSEMBLY to its desired position (in 4″ increments) and reinstall the hardware. The maximum adjustment is 16′:

12. DO NOT ATTACH THE CHAIR ASSEMBLY ANY LOWER THAN THE BOTTOM TWO HOLES -ALWAYS USE THE TWO (2) SUPPLIED BOLTS TO ATTACH THE CHAIR ASSEMBLYTO THE CHAIR ARM!

13. NOTE: For most applications the seat will be installed in its lowest position. For applications where a wall or curb must be cleared the seat should be installed in a higher position.

14.  With the lift fully assembled and anchored, run the lift completely out and back in 3-5 times, without weight, for the lifts “break in” cycle period.

Footrest Installation Instructions

The Aqua Creek footrest assembly is designed to fit under the chair and is installed inside the 2″ square tubing that supports the chair from underneath. To install the footrest;

1. Insert the footrest assembly into the 2 x 2 square tubing that supports the chair until the plastic insert of the footrest assembly sits flush against the end of the 2 x 2 tube.
2. Using the supplied 1 /4″ hardware, fasten the legrest assembly to the 2 x 2 tubing.

Basic Troubleshooting

Problem : The lift won’t move.
Solution:

1. Make sure the battery is properly seated:

2. You should hear a click when the battery is properly seated on the control box or charger.

3. NOT Properly Attached: Note: the white bracket is in front of the silver clip, which will not allow for an electrical connection

4. Properly Attached: Note: the white bracket is behind the silver clip, holding it securely to al­low for an electrical connection

5. Make sure the cords are properly plugged in:

6. NOT Properly Inserted:

7. The cord plug is flush with or sticking out of the outlet

8. Properly Inserted: The cord plug is recessed into the outlet Check the ends of the cords for corrosion or damage. The cord plugs should be recessed into the outlet. You should feel them pop into place when they are correctly inserted.

9. Check the contact points:
   Make sure the contact points of the control box and the battery are not damaged or corroded. If there is corrosion clean with Scotch-Brite™ pad. Put some dielectric grease on the contact points before reattaching the battery.

10. Make sure the battery is fully charged:

11. The Charger is ON when the green light is glowing

12. The Battery is CHARG-1 NG when the orange light is glowing

13. When the Battery is charged the orange light will stop glowing

Problem: The lift stopped moving over the water and is stuck.
Solution:

1. Press the emergency button
   Use a pen or pencil tip and stick it into the emergency button on the front of the control box to retract the lift.
   Note: the lift will not retract if the battery is not fully charged or if the control box is not working. The emergency but­ton only overrides the remote handset.
